It has been a short while since I noticed a mod for The Witcher 3 that regarded fascinating, however this one’s caught me eye. It is a new quest that takes place after the Hearts of Stone DLC, and duties you with searching down a sword that goals to develop into your endgame go-to by way of some distinctive skills and results not one of the base sport’s blades boast.
As with a bunch of the cool Witcher 3 mods we reported on final 12 months – which included new quests that includes stuff like a sizzling air balloon journey and the trippiest evening Gerry’s had since him, Lambert, and Eskel raided Yennefer’s wardrobe – this one additionally would not be doable with these helpful REDkit instruments.
Anyway, this newest one known as ‘The Crooked Sword – Aspect Quest’ and it is the work of modder Forlornsito, who you would possibly bear in mind having modded Witcher 3 Ciri in her The Witcher 4 getup not lengthy after The Sport Awards final 12 months.
Their newest launch is a treasure hunt quest that takes place after you full the Hearts of Stone DLC. “Within the rugged isles of Skellige, Geralt crosses paths with a mysterious cartographer on the docks of Rannvaig,” reads the synopsis, “Draven, is obsessive about discovering a legendary blade, one imbued with darkish magic and mentioned to own the ability to annihilate whole armies. However such energy by no means comes and not using a worth.”

It lasts about 20-Half-hour and has you doing issues like chasing a Djinn and negotiating a portal maze that I am certain Geralt’s simply thrilled about, with some remixed base sport strains and cutscenes to spice issues up. “Initially, this mod was meant to be expanded with a number of endings and alternate paths,” its creator writes, “however because of restricted help and the truth that I’ve been updating and dealing on different mods, I wasn’t in a position to proceed creating it additional.”
Regardless, what they’ve outlined in regards to the Crooked Sword’s skills/results actually sounds fascinating. Each time you equip it, Geralt’s imbued with all of the boons and disadvantages of downing a cat potion, a stage three thunderbolt potion, and a stage three blizzard potion, full with sufficient toxicity to make all his veins come out. As if that is not sufficient, simply pulling the sword out routinely modifications the climate to a violent thunderstorm with pouring rain. Each single time.
In case you’re questioning what the precise base stats of this blade that is presupposed to be the OP endgame metal sword equal of the Blood and Wine DLC’s famously nearly unbeatable Aerondight, these appear to range from playthrough to playthrough, so that you by no means fairly know what you are getting.
All in all, it seems like a weapon you are unlikely to neglect about and depart rusting away on some plaque at house as soon as you’ve got picked it up. If nothing else, one other factor to contemplate giving a go whereas all of us look forward to extra information on The Witcher 4 and Mission Sirius.
